Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thimister

The drive from Brussels Airport to Thimister

Thimister lies 114 km (71 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 10 m. The route heads east across Belgium towards the province of Liège, so most of the journey is on motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around Brussels and Liège can slow things down. Heavy rain, fog or winter conditions can also add minutes, so a buffer is sensible if you have a connection or appointment at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for company teams, sports clubs and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events and organised tours.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

About Thimister as a destination

Thimister is a small place in the Walloon province of Liège, on the Herve plateau. The surrounding countryside is green and rolling, with farmland and quiet villages. It is best known as part of the Herve region, famous for its cheese. A private transfer is a convenient way to reach it, because the area is spread out and not built around a single transport hub.
